The Sixth Annual Conference
Green Building & sustainABILITY
One of the largest and most successful conferences on green building practices and initiatives is coming to Detroit. The USGBC Detroit Regional Chapter and The Engineering Society of Detroit will present the Greening the Heartland Regional Conference May 31–June 2, 2009, at the Detroit Marriott at the Renaissance Center in partnership with COBO Center.
The theme of the conference is “ABILITY,” which illustrates that an approach to projects and practices with sustainability as a goal leads to multiple benefits. Attendees will receive the necessary tools to achieve this goal through programs, outstanding education sessions, keynote speakers, tours, and other activities.
Cincinnati is well represented in presentations
Alan Warner - So You Say You Want a Revolution? Transforming Large Complex Institutions Toward a Path of Sustainability, Shawn Hesse - Building a Successful Advocacy Campaign, Virginia Russell - From Weapons to Wetland: The Fernald Preserve and Visitors Center.

Cincinnati was very well represented in the presentation selection process.
We are fairly confident in our current conference plans & expect a rounded up number of 1,000. Early registration will be of benefit financially & in better understanding attendance.
The keynotes & presenters are wrapped up & should be initially posted next week. Our exhibitor & sponsor prospectus was opened up this past Monday. We'll be pushing the development of our legacy initiatives over the next few weeks.
